"With honor to the past - with vision for the future," the centennial theme of Iowa State College, is a motto befitting a respected institution of higher learning. In veterinary medical education a great debt, and much honor, is owed to the pioneers of the past. "With vision for the future," the most significant phrase of the centennial theme, implies that in veterinary medicine, as well as in other fields of higher education, some problems have already been solved and no longer are problems, that new problems are always arising and are calling for solution, and that the veterinary educator, in association with his students, will stand on the frontiers of knowledge and attempt their solution.
